Background: School-based interventions have small impacts on daily PA levels and academic performance in children. Such failures reside in sub-optimal implementation rates and poor sustainability. To enhance implementation, literature suggests co-production of programmes with all relevant stakeholders to increase the likelihood of implementation success. While co-production approaches are commonly used to design health care interventions, limited contemporary school-based projects deploy such design methodologies.
Introduction: Professor John Bartholomew, University of Texas at Austin. Title: Why moving beyond traditional research- and policy-led intervention design is essential for modern school-based PA programmes.
Individual presentations:
Presenter 1: Dr. Andy Daly-Smith, University of Bradford. Title: Experience-based co-design to develop the Creating Active Schools (CAS) Framework. Description: The UK-based CAS Framework was developed utilising the UK Design Council’s Double Diamond Method. Fifty stakeholders, representing 9 stakeholder groups (e.g. (head)teachers, policymakers and researchers), engaged in a 6-step iterative design process. The presentation outlines the development process, the CAS framework and the impact since the framework’s release.
Presenter 2: Professor Geir K. Resaland, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. Title: A national approach to co-developing a teacher training programme in physically active learning (PAL) Description: Center for PAL (SEFAL) have co-created a PAL teacher education program with the practice field, with the aim of developing PAL as a quality-assured teaching method for theoretical subjects. SEFAL is underpinned by three conceptual pillars; motivation, well-being and relationships. SEFAL carries out research on teachers and headteachers taking part in the education program.
Presenter 3: Dr. Tuija Tammelin, LIKES Research Centre for Physical Activity and Health, Finland. Title: Co-development of the Finnish Schools on the Move programme with teachers, principals, policymakers and stakeholders – a key for successful implementation? Description: Finnish Schools on the Move is a national action programme establishing a physically active operating culture in schools. Over 90% of Finnish schools are involved in the programme that was co-developed since 2010 with a wide network of stakeholders including (non) governmental organisations, municipalities, schools, teachers and students.
Presenter 4: Dr Amika Singh, Mulier Institute. Title: A European-wide approach to co-develop a PAL curriculum and teacher training programme: the ACTivate project. Description: The aim of ACTivate is to enhance teachers’ capability, opportunity and motivation to implement PAL in schools. In ACTivate, a six-nation partnership, we co- create, with practising teachers and other school stakeholders, an innovative European-wide open-access training programme and web portal. The presentation will outline the process of co-creation in the first phase of ACTivate.
Summary: Professors Bartholomew and Mota will summarise cross-cutting themes across the four presentations, discussing possible impacts on policy and practice; reflecting on similar approaches beyond the European context. Following the summary, an interactive discussion will involve all symposium presenters and the audience with specific reference to co-production and knowledge translation in school-based PA.
